Yes Sir, These stories handed down by elders and relatives are the most reliable. Be very careful who you give this information too. If it were me I would guard this Info as if my life depended on it.
Hey gollum;gollum said:First off, let me say that if I came off a little hard on stildign, I apologize. I do have very good reasoning for it though. I have seen numerous people who post that they alone have unlocked the secrets to fabulous treasures, but their day jobs don't give them the time to go to the one spot they absolutely know is where the fabulous treasure is. A reasonable person would immediately think this to a another BS story. If I knew the exact location of a fabulous treasure beyond a shadow of a doubt, I would immediately call in sick, and head for the desert.
When it comes to Tumacacori (pronounced too-ma-KA'-koree), there is not much I don't know about the mines, the mission, the legends, and the truths. I know an old time treasure hunter who has lived in the town of Tumacacori for many years.
I know another man who has had the claim on the area in Javelin Canyon where there is a 150,000 cubic foot mine tailings pile with no mine to go with it (it is so big, it is visible in satellite pics). His name is Gary Oliver, and he has had the claim there since about 1986. He lives in Oregon and has written a book called "Enigma at Tumacacori". For anyone wishing to learn more about the REAL Tumacacori Story, I strongly recommend reading it. Here is a sat pic of the tailings pile:
I have heard numerous people (you know who you are) before stildign claim to know for certain that the lost Tumacacori Mine (there are two as yet still unfound: The Pure Concepcion and The Virgen de Guadalupe) was in one place or another. The Virgen de Guadalupe is the mine that supposedly houses the great store of silver and gold ingots, and in an adjacent hidden room, there is supposedly a copper chest containing maps to all the Tumacacori Mission Mines). I have seen insane rantings that the V de G Mine is in the Superstition Mountains, and other whacky theories. I just get sick of people posting crap without doing any REAL research into the area, or talking to any of the REALLY knowledgeable people.
I am more than happy to share any of the knowledge I have gotten regarding anything I am not bound by promises not to talk about, as anybody who I have dealt with knows. I also have very little patience for whackadoos, and their nutty theories. All it takes is a little research into the subject to know that ANYONE who claims to have simply deciphered the Molina Map ( and attached document), without having been to the area, stood in the ruins at Camp Loco, and seen the "Face of Christ" or the "Cross on the Cliff," has no clue what they are talking about!
So....forgive me if I am brusque with people who I know for certain don't have a clue regarding what is actually there. Before anybody can even think about solving the Molina Map:
one has to be familiar with all the nuances of Castillian Spanish word coding (as in writing incode). One has to understand how if the crossbar on a letter "T" is tilted to one side, it can be pointing at another letter or symbol that changes the entire meaning of the code. One has to carefully look at all the capitol letters, because they have their own coded meanings. There is a LOT more to Spanish and Jesuit Cryptography than looking at a map, and thinking you can work it out. It's just not that easy. Lots of people SAY they can do it, but in all the years I have been doing this, I have met precious few who actually can. Most of them are charging $2500 per week (or more) as archive researchers in Seville, Rome, or Madrid for shipwreck salvage people and companies.
Oh, and Rich; I know what --deleted-- means, and it is not often used in a non-sarcastic way. You see, there are many ways to say that someone may not be educated enough about a particular subject without using the word --deleted--. That word is typically used as an insult, and if anyone ever uses it towards me, I ALWAYS consider it an insult. I have a very good command of the English Language in general, Vocabulary, and Grammar in particular.
